Havsisen i arktiska bassängen : nutid och framtid i ett globalt uppvärmningsperspektiv
Abstract: The Arctic ice sheet has been declining since the end of the 19.th century both with consideration to its Area and to its thickness. Since the 1960.s this development has been accelerating and as recently as 2007 the ex-tent of the ice was smaller than at any time since observations began....
